Mirandela form and stats

Seven points from three 2. Division: Group B home games is a great start for Mirandela, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estádio São Sebastião.

Happy days for Mirandela in their previous game, a 2. Division: Group B match away at Berço (placed 7th) that ended with a 2-1 victory.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Paredes with a 2-1 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mirandela have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won one, drawn three and lost zero.

Mirandela are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Mirandela have only let in 1 goal at home.

Amarante form and stats

Amarante are happy with their away performances in the 2. Division: Group B so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.

Amarante might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Paredes proved too strong as Amarante slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Municipal de Amarante.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Vila Mea that ended 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Amarante playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were zero Amarante wins, one draw and five defeats.

Amarante have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. Amarante are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: two - zero - zero (Mirandela wins - draws - Amarante wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
